A History Of English Romanticism In The Nineteenth Century Part 2
By: Henry A. Beers
Most Of The Poetry Of The Century That Has Just Closed Has Been Romantic
In The Wider Or Looser Acceptation Of The Term. Emotional Stress,
Sensitiveness To The Picturesque, Love Of Natural Scenery, Interest In
Distant Times And Places, Curiosity Of The Wonderful And Mysterious,
Subjectivity, Lyricism, Intrusion Of The Ego, Impatience Of The Limits Of
The _Genres_, Eager Experiment With New Forms Of Art--These And The Like
Marks Of The Romantic Spirit Are As Common In The Verse Literature Of The
Nineteenth Century As They Are Rare In That Of The Eighteenth.
